Analysis of a Broad Class of Earth-Mars Cycler Trajectories

In order to construct Earth-Mars cycler trajecto-ries, we begin by making a number of simplifying assumptions: 1. The Earth-Mars synodic period S is 21 7 years. 2. Earth’s orbit, Mars’ orbit, and the cycler tra-jectory lie in the ecliptic plane. 3. Earth and Mars have circular orbits. 4. The cycler trajectory is conic and prograde (di-rect). 5. ................
